A member asked:
How would you know if your retina detached? can you tell yourself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Retinal detachment usually causes a blind or darkened area(scotoma or visual field defect)) and may be associated with flashing lights (photopsias) and floaters. Small retinal detachments or shallow inferior retinal detachments may be asymptomatic.
